Answer options:
- 12 and 6 o'clock positions ✅ 9 and 3 o'clock positions (or 8 and 4), with thumbs along the rim
- Top of the wheel only
- Bottom of the wheel only
Correct answer: 9 and 3 o'clock positions (or 8 and 4), with thumbs along the rim
Explanation: A 9-and-3 (or 8-and-4) grip with thumbs along the rim gives the most control and reduces injury risk from an airbag deployment. The old 10-and-2 position is no longer recommended because of how modern airbags deploy from the steering wheel.
